Hi all! This has had me stumped all summer and thought I'd ask you pros. I received the seed for these from a friend who is a health environmentalist and frequently visits peoples homes for septic evaluations. As a gardener too, she's always returning with seeds and starts from people she meets, and thats how these seed were obtained. The source called them Feverfew, but they look more like Chamomile to me, except they don't smell like Chamomile. The blooms and crushed stems have a mild chrysanthemum scent.
I wintersowed several seeds, but only ended up with 3 plants and was happy they filled in so beautifully. Hoping the seed I've saved have better germination rates.
Ah, another question just came to me. How do they reseed for you?
I've got some of the taller, double form growing, and they reseed on their own beautifully. I've saved seed from these to be sure, but lots fell into the garden.
Hi Wallaby, good to hear from you! Thank you so much for the links. T.corymbosum does look close, but I couldn't see the leaves very well, and the blooms are held flatter. Sure is a beauty! T.niveum is lovely; the leaves aren't as finely divided as what I have, but I'd love to grow it. All those old fashioned, daisy type flowers make me smile.
Giving this a bump; still haven't found anything definitive. Nothing I'm finding matches the leaves either. I would consider it scentless, the smell is so mild it can only be slightly detected when the leaves are crushed.
